Question

A group of artists is selling small prints to raise money for charity. They sell p prints, and make a profit of f(p) on the sales. If f(p)=17p-340, which statements is true?

Answer 1

Answer:

Statement A is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. If the group sells 15 prints, they will lose $85.

B. If the group sells 12 prints, they will lose $204.

C. If the group sells 35 prints, they will make $935.

D. If the group sells 28 prints, they will lose $136.

f(p) = 17p - 340

p = prints

f(p) = profit

Let's check the statements to see which one is true.

A. 17.15 - 340 = - 85 OK!

B. 17.12 - 340 = -136 (false, they will lose $136)

C. 17.35 - 340 = 255 (false, they will make $255)

D. 17.28 - 340 = 136 (false, they will make $136)
